Sun was shining again last weekend as we headed to the Faenol Estate in Bangor for Radio 1’s Big Weekend.  We decided to wear our new Patch Expedition T.shirts so we could get some pics for our Facebook pages and blog.  If you take a look at the pics you can see the white band on the back of the shirts with our web address on.  This white band is not meant to be there, but is actually covering up the spelling mistake that was made!!  Apparently, the company our supplier uses in India to design the logo’s had been bombed and so there was a mad dash to find an alternative in time for the weekend – hence the job being rushed and the spelling not being checked!  Always a drama!!

Anyway, the Big Weekend was fantastic!  And as we were feeling rock and roll we even broke our training ban from alcohol and had a beer in the sun!  We managed to catch up with a couple of Radio 1’s DJ’s to chat about our Expedition and convinced the one and only Chipmunk to pose for a picture with us!  We have his fantastic security team to thank for that as they arranged for this exception to his ‘no photo’s’ ban and gave us loads of encouragement for the expedition.

Towards the end of the day we headed over to the Introducing Stage to see up and coming group Beatbullyz who we had met earlier in the day and who had impressed us with their energy and passion!  Had a good dance – excellant for mainatining our cardio endurance! – and have since had a giggle at how geeky we look on their video’s on the Radio 1 website!  But the T.shirts look good!!!

We also managed to drag ourselves away from the music to ask some of the other Big Weekenders which tune they would take with them to get them to the top of Everest.  Take a look at some of our favourite answers on our video.  Some of these will definately be on our I-Pods as we make our way up the Big E!  Further suggestions will be gratefully received!

What song would get you to the top of Everest?
